A ErJther as a Referee.

When John Y. Farwell and q promi
nent foundryman of Chicago met tC
square accounts for the iron in the dry
goods merchants big building, a dispute
arose as to the contract price of the iron.
The foundryman held that the price
agreed upon was 81 cents per pound,
while the merchant claimed that the
contract was made on the basis of 81
cents per pound The difference was
about $1S, 1000. The foundryman, dc
spairing of convincing the merchant of
his error, suggested that the dispute and
all memoranda bearing on the question
be submitted to third party for final
decision.
But" said Farwell, "I'm afraid that
he man you would name would be dis
tasteful to me-"
81 think not" replied the foundry
man; che is man whom you know
very we'll"
"Who is he ?''
''Charley Farwell."
John V. looked up i'll surprise. The
proposition to submit to member of
his own house dispute involving $18,-
coo which, if decided against HIM
would prove equally disastrous to the
referee, was so bold and fair that the
old merchant could do nothing else but
accept it The foundryman presented
his memoranda to Charley, who, after a
searching investigation, decided against

The ssLost SOu's'' OF GibnrIa.

A graphic picture of the condition Of
those unfortunates who are fifty de-
scr bed as Cost souls" IS drawn in the
work On Siberia by the Russian writer
| JadrinZeff, says the London Post. But
few of the exilos ever attain to the
possession Of a "house," by which is
meant miserable hut. Most of them
are in reality the bondsmen of the ST
| hired; that is to say, they live, and are
satisfied when they can get money
| for drinking on holidays from their
masters. But as the majority of the
| eXiles are rogues and vagabonds by
profession, who are averse to work, the
| number of fugitives is constantly in
creasing who steal, rob, and plumber
whenever q chance offers, and thus in
tensify the natural antipathy of the
settlers against the class of the de-
ported. The peasants have every cause
to be incensed against them, for, be-
sides suffering from the malpractice of
the convict class, they have to bear
the cost of the erection and pres
eryation of prisons for the exiles,
organize hunts for the capture of the
runaways, provide guards for them, and
find the taxes which can not be raised
from among the deported class. But
the great gaps in the ranks of the ex-
lies are caused by the almost systematic
escape of the latter from forced labor
and from the convict settlements. No
less than fifteen per cent. of the de-
ported escape during transport. Many
of them are shot down like wild beasts
by the peasants and natives, and an
observer of Siberian life made very
true remark when he said that Siberia
would scarcely have been able to over
power the runaway exiles ii the peas
ants had not annihilated them.
The most extreme measures to check
the system of escape are the hunts by
tue natives, organized by the Russian
Government. The native receives
three rubles if he delivers the prison
er, dead or alive" to the authorities.
The people are provided with good
arms and ammunition, so as to make
hunting the escaped prisoner q perfect
success.
One OF those few who managed to
escape was seized in his native village,
and when brought before the court he
said: "FOr two years 1 have wandered
about, have swan through rivers and
seas, have crossed Siberian forests,
passed through steppes and mountains,
and no one touched me, neither man nor
beast; but mere, in my native village, l
have been seized and cast into chains"
The escapes from forced labor had be-
come so common that the administra-
tors of convict establishments were in
the habit OF calling out, when receiv-
ing prisoners: "Whoever wishes to
stay, let him take clothes; he who wants
10 run away will not need them" 1t
should be observed that the clothes
left behind by escaped convicts, SO as
TO guard against capture, are the per-
quiz ties of the prison authorities.

The Ruse of a Stage RObber.

Colorado lawyers have made use of
the Supreme Court decision on the in
validity of criminal convictions by in
formation to obtain the release of Ham
ilton, alias Burton, from the Federal
penitentiary at Albany, N. Y where he
is serving sentence for robbing a mail
stage near Alomosa in 1881. He built a
pile of brush wood across the road in
the woods and set up blackened sticks
in such way as to look like gun bar
rels pointing at the coach. Having
stopped the coach, Hamilton made ali
the passengers form in line. He made
motions back towards the supposed
band of rifemen, telling them not to
shoot until he ordered them to do so.
While the supposed rifemen were cover
ing the passengers with their guns, the
latter were robbed of their valuables by
Hamilton, who escaped into the noun
talns.

Clara FOItz. Attorney at Law.

The Kansas City Times saws One OF
| the passengers on the incoming Santa Fe
train from the Pacific slope last evening
was young lady. She was remarkably
pretty, and on that account the natural
interest always shown by other passen-
gers in young girl travelling alone was
in no degree lessened in this instance.
On arriving here she declined the prof
fered escort of a gentleman ami lady to
hotel, and, gathering her bundles, she
packed them into the arms of the port er
and under his direction went to the
house. Dismissing the boy, she rang
the bell in the parlor and when it was
responded to she sent her card to the
clerk. 1t read:
"NTiss Clara Foltz, Attorney-at Law,
San Francisco"
The clerk was astonished, and thought
the young lady had sent t wrong card
by mistake. He had met one lady law
yer, Mrs. Belva Lockwood of Washing
ton, and Belvas makeup was hardly
like that of the young girl in the parlor.
1t proved true, however, that the young
lady is disciple of Blackstone, and the
first lady lawyer on the Pacific slope.
She comes to Kansas City to take part
in an important land suit in the United
States Court. Miss Foltz has been prac-
ticing in the California courts for some
time and has worked up a fine paying
practice. She is said to be an excellent
criminal lawyer, and can bring jury in
tears as easily as Clara Morris does a
ladies' matinee.

Profitable Mendicancy.

A Paris letter says: There is an old
| story told of a Partisan blind beggar
who was stationed every day on one
| of the bridges, and to whom a passing
Samaritan once gave a gold LOUIS instead
of franc. Having discovered his mis-
take the almsgiver went back to the
| beggar, but found that he had left his
post. After having made inquiries in
the neighbo hood the person obtained
the mendicant's address, whittier he re-
paired in the evening. He found the
blind man installed in comfortable villa,
the door of which was opened by tidy
servant, who said that her master was
at dinner and could not be disturbed.
The stranger, however, made known
his errand, and the beggar sent down a
message by his maid, saying that it was
quite possible that he had taken a louis
for a franc, but that he had not yet made
up his accounts for the day. Finally the
almsglver was told to meet the blind
man on the bridge next day, and the
error, Ii any, would be rectifed. Only
yesterday true narrative of the same
sort, but with q slight variation, was
told by NJ. Thivet before the tribunal
of correctional police, where a man
named Samuel was being tried for beg
ging. Samuel is about Ga years old,
and was in the habit of begging from
house to house. When arrested he was
found living in a comfortable apartment
in the Rue Commines, for which he paid
$40 year as rent. An account book
was also found in his room, in which ne
had entered his takiugs. These, in
some cases, amounted to 20f or los. in
one day. NJ. Thivet, the prosecutor,
said that in December last Samuel went
to his house and represented himself as
a commercial traveller temporarily out
of employment, having wife and fam
lily in restitution. he gave him two
francs, but seeing him next day going
into another house, he watched HIM and
found him begging. He then had him
arrested as professional mend1cant,
which was proved by the account book
found in his rooms. The tribunal order
ed Samuel to be sent to Jail for two
months.

New York Women Who Drink.

The New York correspondent of the
Cleveland Leaclrr says, If you wish to
get good idea of the manners and
morals OF men and women in New York,
visit frequently the frst-class restau-
rants, such as Delmonico's the Bruins

the opinion of our stylish French waiter.

ion of wine drinking generally. He
said,
"You are right, madam, and if more
women were of the same opinion our
asylums for inebria es and for the insane
would not be so full"
He then told me that every little
while he was obliged to force some of
his patients, ladies, into retirement for
three months or six months, in order to
save them from the fatal results of drink,
but only in few instances had he been
able to effect permanent cure, and his
experience is that of many other physi
cians who have large and wealthy
practice. In certain cases, the most
careful physicians prescribe wine, but
the wine drinkers, however, are not, as
rule, those who drink By prescription.
